Our prediction for this World Cup 2026 match:
Buoyed by a 2-1 win over Chile, Brazil will look to keep on climbing the standings when they face Peru at Estadio Nacional Mane Garrincha. The triumph over La Roja gave the Selecao a confidence boost and, as a result, they are seen as hot favourites to beat Peru in front of home fans. Newcastle United midfielder Bruno Guimaraes is widely expected to return to the starting line-up, while Real Madrid ace Vinicius Junior has been ruled out with injury as well as Tottenham striker Richarlison.
La Blanquirroja, on the other hand, did well to beat Uruguay in Lima to record their first win of the process, but given their difficulties on the road, home win should be considered. Alexander Callens limped off with injury against La Celeste, with Piero Quispe Cordova likely to step up. You should know that Brazil are eyeing their sixth consecutive win over Peru in all competitions.
Highlighted Team (Brazil):
One of the most decorated teams in world football, Selecao have also been regarded as one of the most attractive and exciting teams with glowing reputation preceding them. Members of the CONMEBOL confederation, Brazil have played their first international in 1914 losing to bitter rivals Argentina with a comfortable 3-0 margin.
Brazil is the most successful nation in the FIFA World Cup with five championship title to their name. However, Selecao failed to advance past the quarter-finals of the last two tournaments last winning their World Cup in 2002. Their last title was the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup and the star-studded team will be looking to get back to winning ways at this year’s historic Copa America Centenario in the United States.
Legendary Pele is Brazil’s top scorer with 77 goals to his name, while the team’s biggest star of the modern era Barcelona forward Neymar is sitting in fifth place having so far netted 46.
